We intuitively know that an employee will be punished and may get fired if we trick them. Many of us won't try to trick human employees as a result, because we would feel bad if they had bad consequences as a result of our trickery

There is likely no such hesitation around tricking LLMs. I know I personally wouldn't feel bad about it at all. Mostly because any computerized customer service process is annoying so anything I can do to limit my time dealing with it is a win in my books

Agreed

I personally think Rule 0 enables bad DMs a lot more frequently than good ones. I think it's a bad rule

I liked the crunchy bits of TTRPGs like charting dungeons and running kingdoms and shit. Can't find many groups interested in that anymore

So yes, your peasant railgun spear would fire at the speed of light in reality. But the game simulation doesn't care. The last peasant in the line throws the spear for 1d8 damage.

Which sort of implies "most Americans have jobs and responsibilities and things to live for"

I guess it's a good thing that AI is hammering away at the "jobs and responsibilities" part of that equation

The Penguin walk doesn't run all year, something like Nov-March. It's ended for this year unfortunately

Frankly if your devs weren't doing this stuff before, forcing them to do it with AI assistance is probably going to be counter productive. If it is possible to produce good quality code and tests and such with LLMs, it is not likely by forcing LLMs on people who didn't care about code quality or tests before

It's a pretty fun little event. The penguins seem to really enjoy it, they're always checking out the crowd

My local zoo has a little event during winter where the king penguins get to go for a little walk around outside their enclosure. I've been a few times this year and they are just such fun animals. It has made me want to get involved with the zoo somehow, maybe not working with the animals directly but something. I don't know.

It makes me so sad how we humans know that we are messing things up on the planet but we keep doing it anyways because the economy must grow

Either one of these shows they are anti social, anti human sociopaths that only care about enriching themselves at the cost of anything else

When you're constantly being force fed the narrative that you must use AI or be left behind, using it is no longer a revealed preference it is a survival mechanism

Most of them already were death marches to begin with, now they are firing squads

And of course there's no way to manage your notifications granularly to only get the ones that you actually want and filter the rest

Companies want to publish marketing about how they empower users but they absolutely do not actually want to empower users if they can help it

The really discouraging part of this is that it feels like our social and legal institutions don't even care if they catch up or not.

Technology is speeding up and the lag time before anything is discussed from a legal standpoint is way, way too long
